One of the channels (Channel 8) may be configured for “Cold Junction” (ambient) temperature measurements, thus serving as CJ-channel for Ch. 1...7. The junction temperature may be measured locally on the MTUs screw terminals, or on a connection unit distant form the device.

Alternatively, a fix junction temperature for the module may be set by the user (as parameter) or for AI835A also from the application. Channel 8 may be used in the same manner as Ch. 1...7 when no CJ-temperature measurement is needed.

Features and benefits

8 differential input channels for thermocouple/mV.

Channel 8 can be designated as the CJ-channel (4-wire Pt100 RTD)

Variety of thermocouples with the following characteristics: B, C, E, J, K, N, R, S and T for AI835A also D, L and U
